The Life of a Soldier

They never told us it would be this painful
We are fight for reasons to which we are not all faithful
I have noticed it is pointless we are commanded to prevail
Becuase it is not promised we will live to tell the tail
We are forced to fight for family and friend
When we are already loosing them to the bitter descend
As much as they told us it would be worth our while
They never once mentioned loosing life might be futile
We are staggering around so broken jaded
For something that is nothing but much over-rated
Freedom and justice can not mean much more
Than the life that these innocent young soldiers bore
As full yellow clouds floats over our head
We dive to the ground and pray we are not dead
For there must be more to life than what we see
To die to live better makes no sense to me
And still can I say it was not in God's plan
For us to kill any innocent man
Oh..what would I give for just one more kiss
From my wife and my children who I deeply truely miss
If only I could be with then to see how they are
But it kills me to know that I am much much to far
At least I know one thing
To trust God alone
For when my flesh perishes
I am promised a home.
